Serial entrepreneurs are so much fun – and the honesty and openness of my next guests is refreshing……and enlightening.

 

Leah Itsines and Mitch Caon co-founded BARE - the Balanced And Realistic Eating Guide – a “realistic’ way of looking at food.  They have a big following, including over half a million Instagram followers.

 

But the BARE Guide isn’t the only thing they’ve launched – they have had a lot, and I mean a lot of business ideas, and many failures along the way….and it’s this piece that is so important for you to listen to. 

 

It’s all great when we hear stories of success, but listening to people’s failures is even more important – because it’s from this much learning comes.

 

We cover a lot of ground, including:

 

  1. The critical importance of staying true to your Vision and your Brand, and what happens when you stray from this
  2. Are all entrepreneurs control freaks?
  3. How being a “couple” can work really well in business (if you define your roles well)
  4. How important it is to not to be scared to fail. You will only get better and better.
  5. The importance of true customer feedback, not just the feedback from biased friends and family

 

If you want to find out more about Leah, Mitch or BARE Guide, head to our website www.theselfmadetheory.com/podcast where we have our show notes, plus all the ways you can engage with them.  PLUS, we have some great photos of them & their business in there as well.

 

Until next time….keep INNOVATING, OVERCOMING and PROSPERING
